Not to impressed with the way the line set runs right in front of the service door and always did hate when a unit is that close to what appears to be a dryer vent

X2

that line set would be a failure if I were quality control!!

wonder if the "vent" was/is for fresh air?

The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and stamps EVER.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals". Their stated reason for this policy "... the animals become dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."
from an excerpt by Paul Jacob in Sun City, AZ

the unit is to close to the house Im sure in the install instructions it will state a min. clearence of prob. 18" or even 2'
also the fact that it faces the wrong way with the lines crossing the access pannel will be hard to service
though it is a fairly nice looking install clean looks and good workmanship
its allways eiseir to stand back and pick apart someonelses work to say would-a should-a could-a

+1 on hte dryer vent. I really hope that's a fresh air intake of some sort. A codnenser coil will make a fine lint catcher and the warm moist air will make nice ice, droppping effciency by putting you into defrost a little quicker.

I think the service panel size was intentionally rotated so you could palce it 6" away form the wall. I know Carrier allows 6" if there's 12" on two sides and and 24" on the service panel side. Personally I'd want at least 12" to a wall.

lineset needs to be elbowed down and routed for free access to service, an inspector should catch that and make them move it, there is no way to service compressor,and internal components, electrical likewise....FAIL
